Based on my pre pregnancy weight I was considered overweight by a few pounds. I don't know how much emphasis to put on it though since I had gained weight from the baby we lost and shortly after got a BFP with this LO.
My questions is if you're considered overweight did your doctor recommend a different calorie intake vs a "normal" weighted person? I've read that its normal to intake 300 more calories a day while pregnant, but I'm not sure how it works for an overweight situation.
Yes, I will talk to my doctor at my next appointment, but it will be a few more weeks until then. TIA
Re: overweight before BFP
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14

My doctor just told me to gain 15-25 lbs. I'm a size 12, but on the BMI scale I am considered "obese" because I'm about 40 lbs over what the BMI says I should be, but I am quite curvy and always have been.
Even so, my doctor hasn't said any
to repeat a lot of what was said I was told to stay in the 10-20lb gain for the whole pregnancy.
I just try to eat healthy and work out when I can. I've only gained 3lbs so far where at this time with DS I had gained like 15 haha
